Expected behavior

We expect the error message to be displayed with full details so that the user can clearly understand the details of the error.

Actual behavior

In the second line where the error message is shown (network), we see that it lacks full details and the error message is merely a single word, without any explanation...

I also have another suggestion; I think if this message is going to stay as it is (single-word), at least the positions of the title and the message should be switched. That is, the message, since its text is shorter, should come above, and that title text should go below.

I think we need to expose some more information to help identify underlying issues. The network was a placeholder for more fine grained feedback.

We can display message Please check your connection status and try again instead of just Network.

Hi @wmontwe Could you please clarify the latest status of this issue? Do you just want to add more details instead of the word 'network'? Can I do this, or would you prefer to suggest the description text yourself?

@mhf1998 I wanted to add more details, but due to time constraints, I won't be able to work on this soon. You could change it as you suggested.
